Them: What’s it like living with diabetes?

Me:

Them:……

Me: it’s fine.

[diabeticrants]

I don’t think non-diabetics realise how incredibly terrifying it is to go to sleep at night. They don’t understand just how lucky they are.

[i-am-a-diabadass]

Am I low or tired? That is the question.

Oh my god 2018 is already a gift

[skellydun]

the fact that im considered an adult is both terrifying and hilarious

[diabeticsunite]

Sometimes I wake up and think: 

I did it. I survived another day. 

Sometime its: 

Goddamn it, I forgot to bolus, now I need to pee and get water and oh yes, don’t forget nausea. 

It’s really like Russian roulette.

And then there’s the other days where you wake up at 3am with a cold sweat and your shaking because you bolused too much and you need to crawl to the kitchen and stuff your face with the first carb-loaded thing you can grab.

Reblog this if you have Diabetes.

So I have Diabetes and I was just wondering how many other Diabetics are there on tumblr. So Reblog if you have Diabetes.

GUYS! I'm finally going to make the Type 1 Diabetic Tumblr List

I finally have a week off from uni (yaayyy) and some free time, and I’m going to set up the Type 1 Diabetic Tumblr List to attach to my blog, because having other dia-badasses to talk and connect with can make life with type 1 that little bit easier 

So, if all the Type 1 Diabetics of Tumblr could reblog this and spread the word, I’ll set it up this week.

#justdiabetesthings that nobody talks about

- catching every single cold and infectious disease ever because your immune system sucks

- bg levels too high? time for excruciating cramps in a random body part!

- when you can feel your bg dropping

- Constant Thirst™

- related: needing to use the bathroom all the damn time

- do i have my meter in my bag? do i have my insulin in my bag? do i have a snack in case my bg drops? do i have glucagon in case i pass out with no warning? do i have my phone in case i need to call an ambulance? do i h

- someone non-diabetic: “why do you always have a bag with you lmao”

- h e a d a c h e s

- sensory overload when you’re hypoglycaemic

- “why do you care about carbs so much lmao”

- “i would have offered you some cake but you can’t eat sugar right? you poor thing uwu”

- when you’re pretty sure your bg is too low but also what if you’re faking it as an excuse to eat something

- “you don’t look disabled though??”

- your friends looking mildly horrified when you casually joke about stabbing yourself several times a day

- when your phone/laptop is low on charge, and you’re like “oh no it’s going hypoglycaemic” but you’re only half joking

- the increased risk of anxiety and depression, to an extent that many diabetic clinics routinely test their patients for symptoms

- finding someone else who’s diabetic and they understand

I handle my diabetes like a dog flies a helicopter.

Badly and not for long.

Diabetes Awareness Month starts tomorrow so here’s my annual photo challenge!!! I made some minor changes by swapping a few concrete nouns for more abstract ones. It’s still the same concept, though. Interpret the daily prompt however you see fit and tag your post with #DiabadassChallenge so I can read everything. 😁 Enjoy!!! 💙🔵 #diabetes #t1d #type1diabetes #actuallydiabetic #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #ndam #doc
